The Boulder Ruckle is the showpiece trad crag of Swanage, and getting-to-grips with a climb on it will be a highlight for many climbers\' who savour exhilarating climbing in an adventurous setting. The Ruckle, as it is affectionately known, runs westwards from Subluminal, unbroken for over a kilometre and, at over forty metres in height, it offers fear, exhilaration and many sensationally-positioned routes along its full length. The grade range from HS to E7 will appeal to many, however the seriousness of the free-hanging approach abseils, the difficulties of escape and broken finishes means that it is an option only for teams experienced in operating in this environment. Fortunately, protection possibilities are usually in good supply with the unrelenting steepness of the rock accounting for the grade on most climbs, rather than any great technical difficulty. So, for those in search of an adventurous mission, check the weather forecast, don a helmet, dust off the prusik loops and prepare to do battle on some extraordinary atmospheric classics with little likelihood of having to queue.
